In the last five years of your life, how much improvement have you seen in the quality of your Ṣalāh?

In these last ten nights, be from the exclusive “few”…

Have you ever wondered why you have a “bad day”?

Every single one of us has been brought up with our own set of principles. This means that we all have our own version of what is wrong and right, which is defined by our own shades of subjectivity.

In every situation where someone is oppressed, Allah is ever watchful. Not a thing escapes His notice from what people do on this Earth. And if you, dear reader, have ever been or are being abused, remember this fact.

You may know someone who has constantly shown you a weakness in their character. Perhaps they have spilled your secrets, manipulated you for information, or talked you into doing incorrect things.

The next time you hear of someone else’s success, be happy for them, without ever questioning your own self worth.

Not all emotions are bad. They are the basis for empathy, building strong relationships, and making good decisions. But negative emotions can also destroy relationships and lead to very bad decision making.

There is a lot of information available on things you can do to try and combat negative thoughts and become a more positive person.

Have you heard of ‘the emotional bank account’? Najma Juneja reveals how it can help to increase the love and trust between children and parents in the first part of her reflections from Sūrah Yūsuf.
